Take a break

This year I had very special vacations. I went to the north of our country. This was the second time I went there, but this time was absolutely different. The first step I took was going to Quilpue. There lives my mother’s cousin and her family. They are like my second family and they are always asking me if I would go with them to everywhere.

We had decided to go to San Pedro de Atacama, but my uncle had to work. Anyway, we decided to go to Ovalle. The first think we did was going to a marvelous place where we can see stones with draws on them made by our ancestors, which are called petroglyphs. The place is called “Valle del Encanto” and you can camp there.

Our second visit was seeing different small towns in the region. And the last one was going to a natural rainforest which is placed in the middle of the dessert. When I saw this place I could not believe it. It was like someone took a part of the south and put it in the middle of nothing where the trees die because of the weather. The place is called “Fray Jorge” and it took me no more than 1 hour to see the entire place.

When I returned to Quilpue we had the best time. We went to the cinema, we watched a lot of movies and we went to Valparaiso to eat the famous “Chorrillanas” in J.Cruz.

Even though I really like these vacations I have to add that I really miss my 18 months old nephew Martin and that was the reason why I returned to Santiago.
